(a reminder to ADS-Lers in general: the ecdb is there as a resource
for people to consult.  it's not hard to get access to.  please,
please use it, rather than just posting about a possible eggcorn
example and leaving it to chris waigl, ben, or me to find the
reference and post it.  this is not a good use of our time.)
